Hello,
I've been encountering total lockups under high disk I/O, this first
happened when I extracted a pkgsrc tarball but is also happening when
using cvsup to update ports and sources.
I've wiped /usr/src and /usr/obj and done a full buildworld today but it
has had no effect. The machine only works in 'bursts', ~5 seconds of
nothing followed by a few seconds of working normally. Sometimes the
system completely locks up and displays the following diagnostics.
vnlru_proc: vnode recycler stopped working!
vnlru_proc: vnode recycler stopped working!
vnlru_proc: vnode recycler stopped working!
....
The file system is left in dire need of fsck on a reboot.
It's entirely likely that I'm responsible as I use the machine as a
testing platform for just about everything.
Has anyone else had this problem? It's fairly reproducible so I can
provide more information to anyone who wants it. Otherwise it's a fresh
install of stable :)
Regards
Gary
